It is true that most of these projects do not last long but some do. I have personally invested in many high risk projects and taking out my initial investment once I get a chance while reinvesting only my profit can make it risk free. I must admit that it is really like a gamble and we need to predict how long the project can last for those who put in money for such projects. Those who want to invest in such projects must be prepared that they may lose their money too. Getting in early indeed does provide early adopters a chance to gain a very attractive profit.
